Highway Officials Fight Plan To Divert Road Funds
Highway officials told the Senate budget group they would not discuss a bill that could divert roughly three million dollars yearly from motor vehicle funds. Commissioner Harry Parkin warned against losing money to support the interstate system, while Raymond Ore noted the department had about 14 million in hand plus federal matches. Ward Goodman sought higher salaries for engineers to keep pace with other states, and the department cited a million dollars in outside-engineering contracts as potentially divertible. Officials argued hiring in-house engineers would be cheaper and denied plans to fund a Highway Commission from its own funds. House members urged closer Legislature contact and questioned private consulting hires. Continued on Page Three.
